Teruel Airport — Teruel, Spain

Teruel Airport, coded TEV, is located in the Aragon region of Spain and has become globally notable not for passenger service but as one of Europe's largest aircraft storage and maintenance facilities. Airlines from around the world send retired, surplus, or grounded aircraft to TEV, where the dry climate and low humidity help preserve airframes during long-term storage, dismantling, or maintenance checks. The airport occasionally handles limited general aviation and cargo activity, but its primary identity revolves around this specialized aviation graveyard function. TEV's role expanded significantly during periods of industry downturn, when airlines worldwide needed cost-effective storage for temporarily or permanently retired commercial aircraft fleets.
